Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Reserved VM Instance?
A Reserved VM Instance (RI) is a commitment to use specific Azure virtual machine types in a particular region for a 1- or 3-year term. In exchange for this commitment, you receive a significant discount compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
How does a Reserved VM Instance save money?
By committing to a 1- or 3-year term, you are essentially prepaying for compute capacity. This long-term commitment allows Microsoft to optimize resource allocation, passing those savings on to you in the form of lower hourly rates for the reserved instance.
Can I change the VM size or region after purchasing an RI?
Azure Reserved VM Instances offer flexibility. You can exchange your RI for another RI with a different size, region, or term, or cancel your RI for a fee. This allows you to adapt to changing business needs while still benefiting from reservation discounts.
